[Openid-specs-fapi] Issue #94: Consider solutions to developing economies using stored value (openid/fapi)

[Tom Jones]

The level one project is funded at a high level by the Gates Foundation. It
is currently focused on 8 countries in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. I
have spoken to the project manager about FAPI, but there seemed to be
little overlap at this point. I would like to see that change.
